Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

10.0.19042.870 1.7.572.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

This doesn't happen each time, but it does happen often enough to be annoying - leading me to file this issue.

Shell is mostly irrelevant - I use a variety of them - CMD, Powershell, Powershell Core, Msys Bash, Msys Zsh, WSL1/2, SSH sessions etc.

Open a shell. Do some work. Exit it with Ctrl+D. (This is a fairly preferred way of closing a shell without typing 'exit' or reaching for the mouse to close the tab)

Expected Behavior

The tab to get closed.

Actual Behavior

This happens instead (screenshot below):

The tab remains open.
